Wow, can't imagine having to deal with those fractures.
I am curious what muscle relaxer are you taking? I got Tizanidine 4 MG (Zanaflex) for muscle spasms last night while in emergency room for the reoccurring severe sharp pain in the left side of my neck and the severe cramps in in my feet. (Magnesium had been helping quite a bit with the calf and feet cramps but quit working with current problems!) Have had the pain in the left side of neck at times during the last year. Have had the problems with the feet and leg calves cramping for several decades now, when I even walk a little in stores, etc. The foot pain is severe at night. I believe that the foot cramping was brought on by tweaking my body for my body to reach the clutch and throttle on equipment. The neck pain is caused from a broken neck 1979, the degenerative changes over the years, and now a diagnosis of osteoporosis, in the cervical and lumbar region of the spine.
Has anyone used Tizanidine 4 MG (Zanaflex)?
Also, has anyone used Methylprednisolone 4 MG (Medrol)?
Horrid side effects listed for both medicines. I get a lot of the side effects from new prescriptions so I would appreciate any feedback.

Hi
I take cyclobenzaprine or the other name is flexeril 10 mg it's for the spasms but I won't be able to take it if I get the tramadol today I'm going to a walk-in clinic because the emerge department did nothing yesterday. It does nothing for pain
